[PLEASE RE-POST and circulate widely. Excuse us if this is a duplicate
copy. A version of the appeal in Spanish follows the English
version. Por favor vean abajo, al final del Llamamiento en ingles, la
version en espanol de este Llamamiento en apoyo a los mineros en
huelga en Cananea (Sonora, Mexico).

[ALSO if you live in Northern California and would like to be on our
local WHC e-mail list (to learn about events such as the March 13
AFTA-NAFTA conference, organized together with the United Steelworkers
of America), please send us a note and we will add you to our list.]

************

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

We received a few days ago a copy of an appeal in support of the
striking mineworkers in Cananea, Sonora (Mexico). The appeal and
cover letter were sent to us by Gemma Lopez Limon, a researcher
on child labor at the University of Mexicali (Baja California) who
was a delegate and panelist at the Western Hemisphere Workers¼
Conference Against NAFTA and Privatizations, which took place in
San Francisco in November 1997.

Sister Lopez Limon has urged our WHC Continuations Committee
to forward this appeal to the international labor movement. She
points out that the situation the mineworkers face is growing more
difficult by the day and that they need to know they are being
supported by the labor movement the world over.

The Cananea mineworkers have fanned out across Northern Mexico
seeking solidarity for their struggle. In Mexicali a broad-based labor
committee has been set up. The appeal below was issued by this
committee.

Sister Lopez Limon recalls in her cover letter that the Mineworkers
of Cananea held a conference against NAFTA in 1994 to which
workers and trade union officials in various industries from
throughout the northern region attended. At the time they warned
that the privatization onslaught would be deepened if NAFTA were
not overturned. Unfortunately, this is exactly what has happened, as
you will read in this appeal.

We call on all supporters of labor and democratic rights to endorse
this appeal and to distribute copies of this statement widely among
your coworkers and within your trade union bodies or organizations.

If you can, please send your letters or statement of support for the
mineworkers directly to Mexican President Zedillo or Sonora State
Governor Armando Lopez Nogales [see below]. Please send copies of
your statements to the WHC Continuations Committee, c/o San
Francisco Labor Council (AFL-CIO), 1188 Franklin St. #203, San
Francisco, CA 94109 or fax (415) 440-9297.

If you prefer, you can add your name to this sign-on letter. You can
do this by e-mailing your endorsement directly to Gemma Lopez
Limon, "Ricardo Flores Magon" Human Rights Committee,
Mexicali (Mexico). Her e-mail address is
<glopez@faro.ens.uabc.mx>. Your statements will be forwarded to
the Mexican authorities. Please include your organization and title, if
possible and tell us if these are to be listed for identification
purposes only. Also, please send a copy of your e-mail endorsement
to <theorganizer@igc.org>.

You can also send your statement of support to Manuel Ernesto
Romero Reyes, General Secretary, Section 65 of the Mineworkers
Union of the Mexican Republic (Cananea) to (fax) 011-663-66-73-92.

Thank your in advance for your support to this important struggle.

In Solidarity,

Alan Benjamin,

Appeal in Support of the Striking Mineworkers
in Cananea, Sonora (Mexico)

Dear Sirs:

Cananea, Sonora, remains alive in the memories of the Mexican
people. The historic strike of the Cananea mineworkers in 1906,
which was brutally repressed by the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz,
heralded the outburst of the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It was the
tenacious struggle of the mineworkers and their families that resulted
in the nationalization of the Cananea copper mines -- the largest in
Mexico and third largest in the world.

In 1989, Cananea was invaded by the Mexican Army: Five thousand
soldiers occupied the town to prevent any resistance from the
mineworkers to the impending closure of the mines, based on the
fraudulent claim of bankruptcy. The mines are vital to the
community; 90% of the people depend on the mines for their
livelihood. It took the protracted fight of the mineworkers and the
Women's Front of Cananea to force the authorities to reopen the
mines.

In 1990, the Mexican government privatized the mines, selling them
for US$450 million to Jorge Larrea, one of the richest men in
Mexico. The real value of the mines was estimated at US$3 billion.
>From that moment on, the problems began to mount for the
workers. Within months, close to 40% of the workforce ã that is,
1200 workers ã were laid off. Today only 2070 workers are left,
and the threats of more job losses continue.

Larrea, a close friend of former President Carlos Salinas de Gortari,
now in exile in Ireland, is the principal shareholder of the recently
privatized Sonora railway system. Soon after he bought the
company, Larrea laid off 700 workers in Empalme and a similar
number in Benjamin Hill, both of which are ghost towns today.
Today Larrea is seeking to buy the entire port of Guaymas.

In recent months, the company escalated its assault upon the
mineworkers and the community. It began by openly violating
fundamental aspects of the collective-bargaining agreement ã all in
the name of cost-cutting. But that was not all. The company then
closed down the treatment plant, where the industrial waste from the
processing plant was treated before flowing into the local river. The
employer also closed the smelting and storage plants, announcing
that 800 more workers (out of the remaining 2070) would be laid
off. These decisions represented a death sentence to the people of
Cananea.

It is for all these reasons that the mineworkers' union (Section 65 of
the National Mineworkers Union of the Mexican Republic) went out
on strike on November 18, 1998. Close to three months have now
gone by, and there is still no end in sight to this conflict.

We, the undersigned, have just learned that the state authorities are
harassing and repressing the strikers, whose actions of seeking
widespread solidarity from other workers in neighboring
communities is totally legal. Arrest warrants have been issued
against leaders of the union. In mid-January, the Judicial Police of
Sonora illegally entered the homes of two workers ã Rene
Enriquez and Reynaldo Palomino ã causing damage to the homes
and terrorizing the families. Their goal is to terrorize the population,
who have stood strong in defense of the strike. These illegal acts
constitute a violation of all human, labor and democratic rights. We
hereby declare that the authorities of the state of Sonora are
responsible in any harm is caused to the workers or their families.

Given this situation, we, the undersigned, who are convinced of the
righteousness of the minerworkers' cause, support the union's
demands for the respect of their collective-bargaining agreement and
a halt to the closure of the treatment, smelting and storage facilities.
We demand an end to the harassment and repression of the strikers
and all those who support their just cause. We call on the company
and the authorities to resolve this conflict based on the respect for
the collective-bargaining agreement and the democratic and trade
union rights of the mineworkers of Cananea.

Sincerely,

CARTA ABIERTA EN APOYO A LOS MINEROS DE CANANEA

Cananea, Sonora est· presente en la memoria de los mexicanos. La
histÛrica huelga de sus mineros en 1906, brutalmente reprimida por
Porfirio DÌaz, anunciÛ el estallido de la revoluciÛn de 1910. Fueron
las luchas tenaces de esos trabajadores las que lograron que la mina,
la m·s importante de MÈxico y la tercera en el mundo, se
nacionalizara.

En 1989, Cananea sufriÛ la afrenta de ser invadida por el ejÈrcito: 5
mil soldados la ocuparon para frenar cualquier resistencia de los
trabajadores al cierre de la mina, pretextando una quiebra
fraudulenta. La mina es vital en la vida del pueblo, el 90 por ciento
depende de ella. SÛlo con la lucha constante de los mineros y el
Frente Femenil de Cananea se logrÛ que se reabriera.

En 1990, el gobierno la privatizÛ, vendiÈndola en 450 millones de
dÛlares al empresario Jorge Larrea, uno de los hombres m·s ricos
del paÌs, cuando su valor era superior a los 3 mil millones. Desde
esa fecha crecieron los problemas para los trabajadores: casi el 40
por ciento de su planta laboral, 1 200 trabajadores fue despedida.
Hoy quedan 2 070 y la amenaza sigue.

Recientemente, adem·s de realizar continuas violaciones al contrato
colectivo de trabajo, la empresa tomÛ la determinaciÛn  de cerrar los
departamentos de represo (donde se tratan las aguas residuales que
desecha la mina), el de fundiciÛn y el almacÈn, lo que se traduce en
el despido de 800 trabajadores (el 38 por ciento de los actuales), eso
serÌa la liquidaciÛn del pueblo de Cananea.  Por estos motivos, el
sindicato emplazÛ a huelga, que estallÛ el 18 de noviembre pasado.
Han transcurrido ya dos meses y el conflicto no se soluciona.

Nos hemos enterado de que las autoridades gubernamentales han
estado hostigando y reprimiendo a los trabajadores en sus acciones
totalmente legales de difusiÛn de su problema y solicitud de
solidaridad. Existen Ûrdenes de aprehensiÛn contra varios de los
representantes y comisionados del sindicato. En dÌas pasados, la
policÌa judicial del estado entrÛ ilegalmente a los domicilios de los
obreros, miembros de la comisiÛn de difusiÛn que est·n fuera de
Cananea, RenÈ EnrÌquez y Reynaldo Palomino, causando destrozos
y atemorizando a sus familiares, y con ello, creando un clima de
terror e intimidaciÛn entre los pobladores del mineral. Esto es una
violaciÛn total a sus derechos humanos, laborales y democr·ticos.
Responsabilizamos a las autoridades de cualquier daÒo a la
integridad de trabajadores, familiares y poblaciÛn en general
Ante esta situaciÛn, las personas que firmamos este escrito,
dirigentes y miembros de organizaciones sindicales, sociales y
polÌticas y  de manera individual, convencidos de la justeza de la
lucha de los mineros, apoyamos su exigencia de respeto a su
contrato colectivo de trabajo y respaldamos su rechazo al cierre de
los departamentos de represo, fundiciÛn y almacÈn, que significa el
despido de 800 trabajadores. Exigimos el alto a la represiÛn en
contra de quienes apoyan la huelga y el respeto a sus derechos
humanos. Demandamos que las autoridades resuelvan este conflicto
laboral  respetando los derechos laborales y democr·ticos de los
mineros de  Cananea

2. JAKARTA: Govt To Reject Freeport Production

Indonesian Govt To Reject Freeport Production Increase

JAKARTA, Feb 8 Asia Pulse/Antara - The government said it is determined to
reject a production increase plan of PT Freeport Indonesia if the American
company failed to meet previously agreed conditions.

"We are not going to give permission if Freeport does not meet the
requirements set forth in the basic permit," Minister of Mines and Energy
Kuntoro Mangkusubroto said.

Freeport earlier asked for a government approval for its plan to increase its
daily output from 160,000 tons to 300,000 tons of copper concentrate.

President Habibie then made a "disposition" to a number of cabinet ministers,
including Kuntoro, to give their support to Freeport, specifically in the
issuance of a permit for the production increase.

Some mining business players had criticised the presidential disposition as
something that was setting a bad precedent. They believed it was made after a
3-hour meeting between Freeport Indonesia CEO James T. Moffet and Habibie.

The disposition was also seen as a move to "bypass" certain procedures.

But Minister Kuntoro said the disposition was actually not a problem as Moffet
had met the president informally.

"Besides, everything relating to the company's production trial run has become
quite clear to us. We have already set the conditions the company must
fulfill, namely that it must take care of tailing, the environment, slope
stability as well as the consequences of the increase in royalties to twice
their current amount," he said.

The Minister said the two parties were still negotiating and the government
would not set a deadline for Freeport to meet the requirements although the
company should have done so after March 1999.

"Freeport should have met the requirements after March 1999. But at the agreed
date, Freeport proved to have tackled only the slope stability question," he
said.

3. SOUTH SUMATRA: Barisan Gold Mine Pollutes River

BARISAN TROPICAL MINING, SOUTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA
REPORT OF IMPACTS OF GOLD MINE ON LOCAL COMMUNITY

Note: This is a translation of a report from Musirawas (South Sumatra) by
local journalist, Taufik Wijaya. It was dated 31st Dec 1998, but received
via SiaR 5th Feb 1999. Some technical details need to be checked, as they
differ from information previously provided by Indonesian and Australian
colleagues (see below). But in general the account of the negative impacts
this gold/silver mine is having on the local community is consistent with
others received since 1997. The description of mining waste disposal is
particularly alarming. The mine is not far from the Trans-Sumatra highway
if you are heading north towards Kerinci Seblat National Park, if anyone
wants to see for themselves. More reports welcome!
Down to Earth

CELEBRITY'S GOLD MINE CAUSES POLLUTION PROBLEMS FOR MUSIRAWAS PEOPLE
The normally clear River Tiku turned dark brown on December 16th 1998 and
hundreds of dead, rotting fish floated in it. "It's not just the fish! My
child was killed by that water", said Sapri, a local resident.

Since 1996 PT Barisan Tropical Mining (PT BTM) has been exploring for gold
and silver at Bukit Tambang, near Muara Rupit in the Musirawas district of
South Sumatra, local farmers who live along the river have not been able to
use the water. These are the  Sukamenang and Muaratiku communities who live
in the seven villages of Sungaijambu, Lubuk Pelubang, Sungaiberingin, Lubuk
Pah, Napal Pejongot, Tanjungbengkuang and Tanjungharapan.

In addition to the pollution, the presence of PT BTM has made life worse
for these 15,455 people by reducing local incomes. When the company bought
their land, they lost their rubber plantations which generated a daily
income of Rp30,000 per hectare (approx US$3). The productivity of their
remaining plantations has fallen due to local temperature changes which
(they believe) are a direct result of the mining operations.

The community has also lost its income from wild honey. The wild bees have
deserted  forests because of  the lights of the mine at night. Also, trees
which have been productive for years, like the durian, are failing to fruit
normally: the buds or flowers are shaken off by dynamite explosions.

Since 1996, farmers who have traditionally panned for gold in the river can
no longer do so - according to Sapri - because the water causes skin
irritations and sores which do not easily heal.

Nurlela, Sapri's eldest daughter, died in August 1998 after bathing in the
river. "Before she died, she said she itched all over and then her body
turned blue", said Sapri who wants the mine closed down. Unfortunately,
Sapri did not take his daughter to the doctors to prove whether it was
really the polluted water that killed her.

On hearing about the child's death, local administrator Radjab Semendawai
said his office would investigate. On the other hand, Dr Hilda Zulkifli,

from Sriwijaya University in Palembang who heads the team which carried out
quarterly environmental impact assessments for PT BTM, doubts that
Nurlela's death was due to toxic wastes. "There should be an autopsy to
prove the charge. The child's death must not be taken as proof that PT BTM
has polluted the environment", she said when contacted on December 31st.

The mining operations have also caused erosion at Bukit Tembang. "Lots of
trees along the banks of the R. Tiku have fallen down even though there was
no wind or rain, said Sapri. Wildlife has fled the area. When operations
started up, monkeys went crazy and attacked people and tigers been seen
several times in the villages which is unheard of. The mine has upset
normal life in these seven villages. "The children here don't dare to play
in the river since my daughter died", added Sapri. The mining operation
covering 11,709 hectares is run by Australian company Laverton Gold*.

What have the local community got out of these mining operations? After
protesting to the company, demonstrating several times at the local
government office and forcing a PT BTM employee - Gevin Lee (sic) - to
swallow some of the polluted water, the villagers have only received a well
for each village and a few water storage vessels. "We still have to fetch
water every day. The company has done nothing for us. The river PT BTM is
polluting is worth far more than the seven wells it has constructed," said
Pandit Jawalnehru from Sukamenang.

Through the village administration, the company offers work to local
farmers, planting grass and trees to reclaim land. But the pay is far
removed from what they earned as traditional rubber farmers: only Rp5,000
per day - at least one sixth of their former income.

However, the administrator for Musirawas wants to open up more land for
mining. "In order to support and increase living standards of local farmers
- apart from reclamation work - we are in the process of opening up a new
mining area so the farmers can share in the benefits," Mr Semendawai told
the interviewer.

In 1983 one of Setiawan Djody's** subsidiaries in PT Setdco Ganesha joined
up with expatriate staff from Australian mining company Rio Tinto*** to
form PT Barisan Tropical Mining in order to exploit Bukit Tembang. Without
any consultation with the local community, they immediately moved in and
started exploring and even small-scale exploitation. Later, the two
companies worked with the local government to procure local farmers' land.

The farmers refused at first but, after the military intervened and spread
the word that most of the land they farmed was state land, they realised
opposition was pointless. The military are said to have used various types
of threat. For example, if farmers did not sell their land to PT BTM, they
would be imprisoned for obstructing development.

In 1996, the two companies sold PT BTM shares to two foreign investors who
then set up the companies PT Rawas Limited Singapura and PT Jamtiku Limited
Hong Kong with 40% holdings each. The remaining 20% was divided between
Djody and his Australian colleagues Laverton Gold. Their investment was
worth US$ 15 million****.

Shortly after this they began the exploitation of the forests and land
which lie close to Kerinci Seblat National Park and the ancestral lands of
the Anak Dalam (Kubu) indigenous people. The target for the first 5 years
(1996-2001) is 6.5 tonnes on gold and 74 tonnes of silver.

The damage to the local farmers' economy and the threat to their
environment from mining waste does not seem to concern the company or local
officials. Gevin (Gavin?) Lee, from PT BTM's environmental department, said
the waste disposal system of using a tailings dam is right for Indonesia.
"This system is appropriate for use in Indonesia because of the high
rainfall, whereas in Australia depends on an evaporation system", he said
when interviewed at the mine. The gold and silver mine is located on top of
a hill and is only accessible via a 20km hilly road with two security
checkpoints.

Lee explained that the mining wastes such as lime, cyanide, hydrochloric
acid, sulphuric acid, lead nitrate and borax would settle out in the
tailings dam. The liquid waste  discharged from there into the R.Tiku would
no longer contain those materials and "is no longer dangerous," he said.

However, Lee admitted that the company had discharged mining waste straight
into the river while they were constructing a new tailings dam in September
1998. "Since last October we have gone back to using the tailings dam," he
said.

The local administrator, Semendawai, supported Lee's statement that PT BTM
did not pollute the river. Semendawai was the focus of local protests about
corruption, collusion and nepotism a while back. At a presentation on
November 24th 1998 when he stocked the River Ripit with young carp,
Semendawai told local farmers and community leaders that this proved the
company was not polluting the river.

Some of his audience were amused by this statement since the R. Rupit is
60km from the tailings disposal site. "Let him try stocking our river,"
said Jawalnehru.

As for the dead fish the farmers found, Hilda announced that investigations
had shown they were not killed by chemicals in the mining waste. "We found
that some fish had died from potassium (cyanide?) poisoning at
concentrations of 144.38mg. It is impossible that this came from the mine.
Local people often use it for fishing," she said.

Whether or not the company's explanation is true, the Indonesian
environmental organisation WALHI issued a statement on December 19th 1998,
based on the negative impacts which the local community had suffered since
the mining operations began. This included three demands that:  the
government should stop PT BTM's operating licence; the company should
compensate the community for their losses and for the pollution; the
company should reopen negotiations with the community if it wanted to
resume operations*****.
